GREAT NEWS FOR BOWEL CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES Read amazing stories about how ten people survived this disease and how their determination, courage and attitude made them all winners against bowel cancer

Learn the secrets of their success and learn how others beat bowel cancer

II would like to introduce myself and tell you why I have taken the trouble to research and write this book and why I am offering it to you. My name is Roger Cuff and I am a writer living in Australia

Two years ago a close friend phoned me one Sunday and informed me he had bowel cancer. To say the least I was shocked and just managed to stop myself from saying, “you’re kidding?”

No, he wasn’t kidding and I didn’t know what to say. He was very brave about his diagnosis and seemed to accept that he just had to knuckle down and fight this disease that had attacked him.

After getting off the phone I started to research what bowel cancer was about and the more I researched the more I learnt about what it was and how it affected people. The treatments, survival rates; who is likely to get the disease and many other questions I had.

In fact, I found a lot of answers to my questions after spending many hours over the next few weeks researching the subject.

What was it that set these survivors aside from those that weren’t so lucky?

Why could I find all the information about the disease but nothing about how people survived and their stories?

It was then that I decided to seek out these amazing survivors and put their stories down in print for others to read. For those people who are undergoing treatment for bowel cancer and their families, to gain hope and inspiration, that they too can survive and live long and healthy lives like everyone else.

I made extensive enquiries and finally found people who had survived bowel cancer and learnt what made them survivors, what made them the ‘lucky’ ones. Luck had nothing to do with it. It’s what Robert, one of our story contributors said, you have to have a game plan and that includes treatments, the right doctor, the right attitude and above all the hope that is inspired by the patients who go on to survive and lead normal lives once again.......
